fckawhipboughtabanshee Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I just got a fresh top and bottom end rebuild not to long ago , ive rode the bike at least 5 times ( 3 hours give or take ) ive noticed a good size puddle coming from behind the quad every time i come back for a ride ( honestly its there sometimes even when i dont ride..) i dont know where its coming from But i put a paper towel under the quad after i ride and the next morning the towel has a little damp spot, not to big honestly but its still there i dont notice the oil level dropping when i pull the dip stick out but any suggestions on where it could be coming from or If i might of over filled it?( one full quart and a half) or maybe its just the hoses that leak out ? if not would the bike still be alright to drive with that leak being there everytime?, One last thing the bike starting to make a ping sound at the end of revving up the motor or when im down shifting and it kind of bumps up the RPMs i get a little rattle when coming down off that high rev thought it might be the exhaust springs? (that ping started after hitting it hard full throttle ) but any suggestions on that ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialblend07 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 You need to look under your bike for spots that look like they could be leaking oil........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fckawhipboughtabanshee Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 ^ Lol first thing i did man , its so small i cant notice it , it must be a small leak and when i try to follow the wet line it goes into a dry spot or a spot where the bike used to leak from the exhaust pipes and motor jugs ( front ) so it interferes with that and i notice the left carb moist so that might have to end up getting the gasket replace since the right one was leaking and ended up getting that replace fixed the problem ... all in all im sayin with that kind of leaking its making it hard to point out the spot man its frustrating . thanks tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 If you think it's coming off those nuts, it's probably gas leaking and running thru the drain hole in the cases, evaporating and leaving a bit of oil and dripping off of that nut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Well, mix oil would be clean. Where is your vent line ran? Easy test, clean engine well, go for short ride, stand it on it's ass, throw flour, talcum, or baby powder on it. Powder will stick to any oil.

fckawhipboughtabanshee Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Found the leak! It's a real small one but makes a puddle within a day not a big one but a spot, I would say it has to be the external shift oil seal.. I wiped it so it doesn't look bad but it's there .

fckawhipboughtabanshee Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 The clutch was too rough in the beginning because my lever was worn out so I was kinda smashing through gears Could that be what caused it or just not sealed right? ( the levers replaced now shifted through gears smooth)Is that something that needs to be takin care of asap or would it be alright when ridin it here n there..Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 The shaft gets grooved, bushing in case can wear or just a faulty seal or dirt in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fckawhipboughtabanshee Posted May 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Was told to tap the seal in so it could tighten up and to use a flathead screw driver and tap it around so it goes in even... Any thoughts on that? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on that? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Not at all good on a seal,, IMO. Seals only seal when installed straight and true. Stabbing at it with a flat-tip seems the opposite of that. Replace seal with new AND remove shaft to inspect, polish or replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 You will be fine to ride it with the small leak...be making a mess of bike though If you don’t have enough trans oil your burn the clutch up...You can replace the seal without taking the shaft out...But as suggested remove the shaft and inspect it, may as well by a modified shaft, clutch cover gasket, kickstart seal, and shift shaft seal.
